Brussels Attacks Video Purporting To Show Zaventem Airport Explosion Was Shot In 2011

The recent news about the Brussels Airport Explosions is getting its own share of conspiracies. And it seems that the CCTV purporting to show the deadly Brussels Airport explosions appears to be fake. As the footage resembles a video of the moment a bomb attack took place at Domodedovo Airport in Russia that took place in 2011. But the discussed video, which shows people walking before they duck and flee following an explosion, has been widely shared on social media since the Brussels blasts took place on Tuesday morning. The VRT news agency apologized on Twitter for the CCTV footage being fake.

Shortly after the airport explosion in Brussels, a blast followed and was also heard at Maalbeek Metro station. Local media is even reporting that at least 13 people have been killed and 35 have been severely injured. All flights at the airport have been cancelled and arriving planes have been diverted which led Belgium’s terror alert level has been raised to maximum.
